At 5:00 p.m. on May 24, Cua Lo Town Police received a report from the public that at Mr. Hoang Khac Kham's rented room located in Block 3, Nghi Huong Ward, Cua Lo Town, a young man named Trinh Cong Hai Anh (born in 1998), residing in Hai Trieu Block - Nghi Hai Ward - Cua Lo Town, was found dead by hanging.

According to Ms. Lu Thi L. (born in 1992), residing in Pham village, Tien Phong commune, Que Phong district, Hai Anh's lover, the two had been in love for 9 months and Anh brought L home to introduce her and stayed at his house for a while.

Because Anh and L. were unemployed, their parents urged them to find work, which led to an argument and Anh's parents kicked them out of the house.

On the afternoon of May 23, Anh and L. rented a room to look for work. On the evening of May 23, the two argued about money. On the morning of May 24, L. went to her sister's room nearby to play and cook lunch. After that, she went back to her room and called Anh to come over to eat, but Anh said he wouldn't eat and wouldn't come over.

At 1:00 p.m. the same day, L. called again but only heard a rustling sound in the room. Not hearing her boyfriend's answer, L. angrily went back to her room.

At around 4pm, as if having a premonition, L. asked her roommate to come over and knock on the door. She couldn't get through, so she kicked the door open and discovered her boyfriend had died.

Currently, Cua Lo Town Police are continuing to investigate.
